Development of a stability indicating HPTLC method for the estimation of olanzapine in pharmaceutical dosage forms

Spectrofluorimetric first derivative synchronous approach for determination of olanzapine and samidorphan used for treatment of schizophrenia in pharmaceutical formulations and human plasma

The combination of olanzapine and samidorphan has just been authorised for the treatment of schizophrenia. The current study created a very accurate, sensitive and selective spectroscopic technique based on the first derivative of synchronous fluorescence for determining olanzapine and samidorphan in their pharmaceutical prescriptions without prior separation. For the quantitative analysis of samidorphan and olanzapine, the adopted approach is focused on measuring the synchronised fluorescence intensity of the examined medicines at fixed wavelength range (Δλ) = 50 nm and the first derivative's peak magnitudes were observed at 300 and 350 nm, respectively. The effects of various factors on the synchronised fluorescence intensity of the referenced medications were researched and adjusted. Both medications' calibrating charts were shown to be linear throughout a range of concentrations of 0.1-1.1 µg mL-1. LOD for SAM and OLA were 0.02 and 0.01, respectively. In addition, LOQ was determined for SAM and OLA as follow, 0.07 and 0.06, respectively. The devised approach was effectively used to the quantitative measurement of the two medicines in Lybalvi® tablets with various samidorphan and olanzapine ratios, in addition to spiked human plasma. A variance ratio F-test and student t-test were needed to be able to compare the results to another published analytical technique and found no significant differences.
